Just found this great free planner to print. This free planner includes daily pages, goal-planning pages, and quarterly planning pages. It works great for our family because we are a day to day homeschooling family. We dont have a schedule..just goals so this works great!

I read about a challenge over at <a href="http://www.memoriesoncloverlane.com/search/label/Declutter:%2040%20Bags%20In%2040%20Days">Clover Lane</a> and I thought it would be something great for me to work on! Im a busy mom and dont have alot of extra time on my hands, so I thought this would be a great, quick way for me to rid of all this extra clutter. I read about the challenge she made, 40 bags in 40 days. Basically you tackle and purge a different spot each day in your home and each day you'll have a bag of stuff. Stuff you dont need, stuff you dont want, all those extras you've been hanging onto forever! <br />
<br />
So, for starters..I got out my trusty ol' pencil and paper and divided my house into 40 different sections. And tomarro, I'll start purging, I'll hit the first section, and the next the following day and so on...and in 40 days my house will be rid of 40 whole bags of clutter! Such a great idea!<br />

One of my goals for the new year is to eat a whole lot healthier! Last year I was overtaken by fast food! I gained over 70 lbs during my pregnancy and felt discusting! I drank Dr pepper all day long and ate fast food just about 4x a week! I feel so gross now that I think about all that! So Ive made some smaller goals to help me change my diet. Not only is this good for me but good for the whole family as well. <br />
Drink more water..Ive never really cared for water. I might drink it if its the ONLY thing to drink on a hot summer day! Im going to force myself to drink at least 5 big glasses of water a day. The other thing I thought about was trying fruit infused water. It looks delicious! I found some great recipes <a href="http://www.theyummylife.com/Flavored_Water">here</a>.<br />
<br />
My basic plan is to drink 2 green smoothies a day and then a nice meal at dinner time. I want to eat more fruits and veggies and get them into every meal for the kids and hubby. I want to cut out most carbs for myself, things like pasta and potatoes (which are my favorite)...maby substitute them with veggies or quinoa. <br />
<br />
Definately cutting out the fast food. YUCK! Makes me ill thinking about how much fast food I ate last year. or how much I spent on fast food. <br />
<br />
There are so many yummy recipes out there for green smoothies! I can hardly wait to start trying them all and experimenting on my own. I took a picture of my first smoothie! Boy was it delicious!!! <br />
<br />
1 cup fresh blackberries<br />
4-5 basil leaves<br />
1 banana<br />
1 cup coconut milk<br />
<br />

Baylen is 6 weeks old today! It makes me sad how fast they grow up on us.I just love cuddlin with them when they are so small...its so special to me because it only lasts for such a small amount of time. Hes made lots of milestones already! He loves cuddling with his mama! He dont let me put him down one second..Ive been toteing him around since Ive had him! I may just have to bungie strap him to me. Its so hard to get anything done..but them when I lay him down and he starts crying...I feel like a bad mom so I pick him back up and figure out how to do whatever Im doing with just one hand. Did I mention he also sleeps on my chest EVERY night...yup. Im stuck in the recliner downstairs everynight with a baby on my chest!<br />
Some of his other milestones:<br />
- he loves his binkie<br />
-he has learned to love his bath! He never really liked it much and he dont like the washing part but he loves very warm water and he loves to lay and relax in it.<br />
-he is already enjoying 6 oz of milk! The bottle is almost as big as him!<br />
-he holds his head up for about a min or so<br />
-coos more and more at his mommy!<br />
-we got big smiles now!!<br />
-he hates cold hands and cold wipes! Always throws a fit when he is touched by cold!<br />
<br />
I love the little photo above...crossing his eyes so he can focus in on his mama! I am so blessed.<br />

I wanted to come up with something that would be ready when the kids woke and hubby wouldnt have to slave over the stove. It dawned on me...since I have been using my crockpot for dinners so much, whynot use it for breakfast. The first thing to enter my mind was oatmeal. My kids love it! Its warm, its yummy...you can experiment and flavor it tons of ways. So I threw together some stuff and sure enough I had oatmeal this morning! Hubby said next time I need to double the batch because there wasnt enough for seconds but it turned out great!! He even took a picture of Hudsons bowl for me, LOL! He thought I might want to scrap about it! So nice of my hubby to think of me while Im gone :)<br />

We put our tree up on Thanksgiving while our delicious turkey was slowly cooking in the oven. We got it up and decorated. We put out most of the decorations but I still have a few projects planned for the couple weeks after the baby comes. These projects are mainly for the kids. I want to be able to spend some time with them after the baby is here and so I have a ton of things planned to celebrate the season! Ill be spending the next week preparing for the new baby and preparing for the weeks ahead. Getting all supplies together and grouped by project and set aside in a bin for then!<br />
<br />
My favorite way to decorate my home is in a natural way. I love all things natural when it comes to decorating my home. This means pine cones, cranberries, sticks, leaves and what not. I love it all!<br />
<br />
Wanted to share some cute corners in my home and the kids helping decorate..<br />

My husband and I love having our cozy hot drinks when its cold outside. I love a warm seasonal drink and a good book cuddled with a warm blankie on a cold evening or night. I love to try all the warm pumpkin, spicy and apple flavored drinks in fall. I even love warming up some good ole apple cider in the crock pot and sippin it~warms me up!<br />
<br />
Thanks to Pinterest, I found lots of very yummy drinks that Ive already tried or Im waiting to try..so many I dont know if I will get them all in this season! Maby mix them into the winter season? :)<br />

<br />
So..it isnt officially the first day of Fall yet but it sure feels like it. Carter begins his first day at Public school tomorrow. Trenton and I started school over the weekend. The cool nights and warmer days have begun. We have had some chiller days as well. The fall clothes have came out. The leaves are changing color. Its "officially" fall in my eyes!<br />
This is my absolute favorite time of year. Maby it's the leaves falling from the trees. Maby its the amazing colors that come with the season. Here in New York..Fall lasts about 3 months. It makes me so happy. The weather begins to change about the end of Augest and then lasts right up until our first heavy snowfall...right around or after Thanksgiving. We have chilly mornings with amazing warm days and then ending with a chilly evening. So what is it about the season that I love so much? Oh Autumn....let me count the ways..<br />
<br />
<b>The Holidays</b>- Love the holidays the occur in fall. Thanksgiving being one of my favorite. I love a table full of happy family and yummy food and not to mention all the pretty decor. Usually we have our own Thanksgiving here but this year I may go to my Mother in laws just because the baby is right around the corner. But Im not sure yet..I might still have it here. Halloween is so much fun too. I love to dress my little ones up and take lots of pictures. I love taking them Trick or Treating and love seeing how excited they get when they get a piece of candy in their bucket<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The Colors</b>- It's early yet, but even now you can see a patch of scarlet leaves among the green, or a flame-colored tree as you drive around town. In another week or two the countryside will be ablaze with color, and our roads will be clogged with leaf-peepers. Everybody has some kind of fall decor outside their home and the whole area turns red, orange and yellow within days.<br />
<br />
<b>Fall Foods</b>-Oh Goodness. SO many foods to mention. I love Baking..all the fall yumminess..Pumpkin Bread, Apple Pies, Biscuits, Muffins, Plum cake, Pumpkin Pie..Oh gosh...All sounds so good. And not only the Baking but I also get out my Ole trusty crockpot and we eat from it all season long. Things like casseroles, Stews, and soups. I also love the many different ways to use up your garden goodies such as Squash, Sweet Potatoes, Brussell Sprouts, Apples, and root veggies such as Turnips and Beets. Ah im getting Hungry thinkin of all that yummy food!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Pumpkin Patches</b>- Yep it's true. I absolutely ADORE hay rides and corn mazes and fields of orange as far as the eye can see. It was one of my favorite things growing up and as a parent is something I still look forward to all year long.<br />
<br />
<br />
So yeah those are the things I absolutely love about Fall!<br />
<br />
<br />

He did so well that we are letting him go this year again. Even though I dont entirely like the idea. <br />
Trentons staying home this year. He did HORRIBLE last year with a CAPITAL H! Hated going to school everyday and was miserable when he came home. The only thing that improved was his speech. Which he will still be doing this year. His behavior went down hill, his focus went down hill and he overall didnt progress very much at all. So this year we are going to try homeschooling again and see how it works for him. <br />
I have a TON of stuff planned and I am not following a standard curriculum. Trenton will be in third grade this year but he only tests at a Kindergarten/first grade level. He still dont know much of the alphabet and only a few sight words so we will start from there. So far this is what I have planned for him...But Im still planning and right now I am going to take it month by month. We are using more of a relaxed approach and any curriculum listed is just for guidelines really. I have a ton of stuff planned besides what I have listed that I will get into more detail with in another post. We are going to focus ALOT on nature and reading this year...Fairy Tales and Fables. Fun, child based stuff for him..I dont want to in any way PUSH him to do school work..All the years he has been struggling, I hate to make it worse for him. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>History-</b> We will be starting with Christopher Columbus and following through to the Revolutionary War or maby even to the Oregon Trails..depending on how fast and easy we can work through this. We will be using Paths of Exploration as a guideline.<br />
I also hope on doing a few unit Studies..Such as Vikings, Medieval Times and maby throw some Indians in there somewhere. These are based on Trenton's interests.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Geography- </b>We will be working on the basics of reading a map..what a map looks like..direction etc. When we are through with that we will study the states (memory) and memorize their capitals. We will also be doing units on things like weather, landforms, etc<br />
<br />
<b>Math-</b> I havent found a specific curriculum yet but I saw some really cool workbooks at BJ's I will most likely go back and buy. They were very colorful and had alot of fun things in them. We will be working on math basics this year..NUMBERS..he needs to learn his numbers..he can recite until 100 but he cant write them and cant recognize them when they are wriiten. When he learns them we will then work on simple addition and subtraction. We will also do measuring, weighing, Telling Time, Sorting money and counting and learning what money is, and sorting and patterns.<br />
We will also have Math journals and worksheets to work on and will be using alot of hands on activities with our Math. Trenton learns better visually. <br />
<br />
<b>Science-</b> Ive ordered the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/McGraw-Hill-Science-Grade-1/dp/0022812113/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1K1ZBB5NKR8J7&coliid=I1UZCSQ34OTQC8">Mcgraw Hill Science Book</a>. It looks great so we will follow along in this throughout the year. We also will have a science Journal and will do different experiments etc every week and then record them in our Journal. Of course we will have Unit Studies as well..Animal and nature units..Im not 100% fully sure yet. Still planning.<br />
<br />
<b>Language, Reading and writing-</b><br />
<br />
Spelling will just be sight words. He will learn to sound out and recognize his sight words. Writing..he will learn to write the WHOLE alphabet, recognize Capital and lowercase letters and write them both. We will use lots of hands on and Handwriting without Tears and Get ready for the code. If he progresses then we will carry on throughout the series. <br />
<br />
Once a week (end of the week)we will have a journal entry of some sort. Im not sure what I want to do with this. Id like it to be an art journal..based on what we have learned through out the week. But Im not sure yet..I love to journal and Id like to pass it onto him and see if he would take interest.<br />
<br />
Vocab journal..I may do a Vocab journal which is and idea I got from <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/185351340884899966/">Pinterest</a>. Im not sure though because we do have a few journals running throughout the week. We'll see though how things work out. <br />
<br />
Notebooking-We will also be using Notebooking and Lapbooks. Special and certain units and studies we will make and use these.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://readingeggs.com/">Reading Eggs</a>..this is a great online website that allows your child to learn and reinforce his reading skills. We also love Star Fall.<br />
<br />
Read Alouds-I got a LOAD of Chapter Books we will be reading together.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Nature Study-</b> We will be taking Hikes, going outsie and doing all we can do to learn and feel nature. I just love nature and think its an amazing thing and would love for Trenton to experiance the love for nature as well. We will have Nature Journals and hopefully will be following along in the Challenges from <a href="http://handbookofnaturestudy.blogspot.com/p/outdoor-hour-challenges.html">The Outdoor Hour!</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I also ran to Bjs the other day and bought a bunch of Brain Quest workbooks. These look like so much fun!<br />
<br />
Well. Thats my plans so far for Trenton. I plan on doing preschool work with Rylan (4) and plan on tot school with Hudson (3) and Dahlia (2). FUN FUN YEAR PLANNED AHEAD!<br />

So its almost been a year and I haven't wriiten in ages. Im updateing the blog a bit, adding posts from another blog that I started and never finished and compiling everything into one area! Id love to get blogging again..even if its just a couple times a week!
Our family has grown so much in a year! We have many birthdays coming up in the next few months and we have another sibling on the way! We are so excited to meet him! Yes I said him!!! :) He will arrive in the beginning of December. The kids are so excited! Ecspecially Rylan and Hudson...they talk to my tummy alot and Rylan calls the baby..Baby RyRy.
I will be homeschooling Trenton this year. He didnt do very good in Public school last year so Im going to try to give it another shot and homeschool him. Hoping it will help him better at staying more focused. carter will be going to Public school. He loves it and did great last year! Rylan and Hudson will stay home with mommy and we will do preschool and tot school with Hudson and Dahlia. She is soooo smart and a very fast learner so I will be including her in with Tot School as well!
